Some one had accidentally dropped a great chair in the open hearth. It went off at a quarter of five. The culprit, discovering the trouble, threw onto the blaze the 20 foot rug. It went off too. Scared by now, he dashed to the phone booth, called the Fire Depart ment. "Pardon me,", he said, "but there's a fife in the vicinity of the Carolina Inn." And away he ran. Up stairs above the living room and the, scene of the fire slept Sopho more "Bat" Toms of Salisbury. He heard the town alarm, roused himself, and pulled over to the window where he settled his elbows on the sill and proceeded to scan the sky-line for the blaze. Sleepily he hung there three minutes.

I know very little, but I con ceal my ignorance with a thoughtful expression and tightly drawn lips. My friends never kno.v what a dummy I am. They look upon me as a sage. "But you take some of my friends: the beavers, the muskrats, the badgers. They nose around asking questions. Every time they open their mouths they let somebody in on the secret. They don't know, but they want to find out. And what sort of reaction do you think they get? Why, people say 'He's a dumb bunny, he's always ask ing questions.' While all the time they're finding out things. And I'm sitting here nodding my head as if I understand all the problems. "Now I ask you as a student to say which is better. Shall I ask questions to find out things or shall I be content to continue as a sage. Or does wisdom consist of making people think you know, when all the while there are hundreds of answers to hundreds of questions you dare not ask. Why I'm almost becoming a parrot, instead of an owl. I just sit and listen and then nod my assent. So I'm wise, and my inquisitive friends, poor things, have heads shaked in answer to their questions, and many a 'too bad he hasn't the sense to keep quiet' passed behind their backs. "You say, Mr. Student, that you have the same problem to face. All I can do is sympathize and of course agree with you. If I talked too much you would go away and say to your friends that I wasn't as smart as I am supposed to be. You'll have to solve it yourself. But I wish I could change places with one of my dumb bunny friends who is finding out some of the answers." Dialectic Senate By Adrian Charles Spies MARRIAGE IN THE LABORATORY Do you want to get married? Do you want to live happily ever after? Do you want to keep from getting married? Today people from 18 states are in Chapel Hill talking about Conservation of Marriage and the Family. They have been here since Tuesday. They will leave today. "What do college students want in a marriage course?" Miss Genevieve Baggs from Duke, led a round-table discussion yesterday. This is the fourth year the big sociologists in the country have met in their Familv Conference. The University, we understand, is being honored by their presence. Our Dr. Groves is directing them. When the Princeton track team was here last week, most of the boys attended Mr. Binkley's marriage class in Venable. Several weeks ago, the Syracuse Daily Orange up at Syracuse U. wrote our sociology department for details of the course. The Conference today is another flower in the Departmerit's buttonhole. The authorities are admitting "we ve got something here." We know a senior who agrees with them. He's in Mr. Binkley's class; attendance is optional. It's the one class he hasn t cut. What the big shots say, is flattering; but what our senior says, is important 12:55 With Lauritz Melchior, world's greatest tenor, in the title role, and Kirsten Flagstad as Kun- dry, Richard Wagner's opera "Parsi f al" will be presented in a special performance by the Metropolitan Opera Company (WPTF). 8:00 The Cities Service Concert, starring Lucille Manners (WEAF). 8:30 Paul Whiteman and his or chestra (WBT). 9:00 The Hollywood Hotel, with Frank Parker, Ken Murray and Os wald (WBT). 10:00 The Song Shop, with Reed Kennedy and Alice Cornett (WDNC). 11:00 "Just Entertainment' fea tures Jack Fulton's orchestra and the currently popular Andrews Sisters (WHAS). For those sentimental brethren who like mossy tradition with their organ izations, we present the Dialectic senate. It was back in 1795, when the University had just come into being, that the Di Senate was created. Three weeks later another group of pioneers founded the Phi assembly; but the Di was first, and to it goes the glory of tradition, and the honor of being the first extra-curricular activity upon this campus. Originally, the organization was almost purely literary. Meetings were devoted to readings' of papers and poems not at all like the fiery debate sessions of today. As every student was forced to become a member of either the Di or the Phi, these two groups practically controlled campus affairs. In 1889 the, student body became so large that this requirement was dropped, and in 1924 the senate was altered to its present form. There have been no important changes since. Theoretically the Di is modeled after the state senate. Corresponding somewhat to the offices of that body, the local group has as president Miss Margaret Evans, Sam Hobbs as president pro-tem, Bill Cochran as critic, George Riddle as treasurer, and Kenneth Gant as sergeant-at-arms There are approximately 50 paid members. At present the purpose of the organization is threefold: to promote ability in public speaking, to discuss questions of local, national and international interest, and to present to the campus the opinions of an interested and fairly well informed group. Back in the days when the Di and the Phi were great powers there was a real hatred between the two. Free for all fights between proponents were not infrequent, and practically every session witnessed biting allusions to the other organization. Until very recently members of one could not even attend meetings of the other, and professors who valued their campus pres tige were very careful to show no partiality. There is a story about a Phi member who decided to spy upon the rival group and hid in the rafters above the hall. Unfortunately he fell from his post, and was severely beaten. It is claimed that this incident led to his death one year later. Now such demonstrations have practically vanished. The two organiza tions still meet each other on the football field and battle over their joint dance. But the Di, patriarch of campus activities, moves on to "talk of many things, of ships and ceiling wax, and cabbages and kings."

Barclay Acheson To Lecture Herex (Continued from first page) several American universities. He has been decorated repeatedly for his work abroad, his most recent recog nition being the Commander of the Order of the Redeemer, awarded him by the Greek government for his serv ices to the people of that nation. By comparing present conditions with those of a century ago, Acheson supports his belief that the world has made a positive advance "even in the most debated fields of social justice and national morals." Because of his background and ex perience, Acheson should be of much interest to business men, professional men, and others concerned with per manent values in the world of thought. Roundtable Discussion Closes Conf erence To The Editor, Dear Sir: I should like to have published the following information concerning the administration's part in the use of the public address system in Graham Memorial on election day. The administration consented to the use of the equipment provided those in charge would so regulate the volume as to avoid disturbing the occupants of Battle-Vance-Pettigrew dormitories and the Alumni building nearby. Such consent was required because in its effort to prevent cam pus disturbances the administration last year for bade the use of sound cars on campus streets. The use of this similar instrument in a university building was held to come under the same pro vision. As to the other conditions under whir.h this equipment should be used the administration merely maae suggestions which were asked for t i oy tnose in charge. The questions of proper man agement and use of the amplifier were left to tne discretion of the students as is the policy under our student government. The suggestions, which were agreed to bv those responsible for the amplifier, were: 1. To make the announcing facilities available to all interested candidates alike. That is, if one candidate chose to use the equipment, then any other candidate would be free to use it on terms ; and to use impartial announcers. 2. To avoid anv "neativA" rmViiitxr ThAt is. not to boost one candidate by disparaging the qualifications of his opponent or opponents. If there are some who misunderstood the ad ministration's position in its approval of the use of this instrument, perhaps this statement will be helpful. Very cordially yours, FRED H. WEAVER. (Continued from first page) of the conference this year, will con duct the final feature of the, week's activities when he heads the discus sion at 11 o'clock on "Conserving Marriage by Instruction for Marriage for Non-College Youth." - To The Editor, Dear Sir: Everybody is excited over the idea of mixed bathing in the pool in the evenings, but no one seems to realize one of its inevitable consequences. That famous old Carolina phenomenon seen al ways at Grail and class dances the 8 to 1 ratio win certainly appear. There'll be so many boy down at the pool from 7 to 8 that all the coeds will be completely hidden by trunks. Each time you'll start in swimming with your date, you'll feel a tap on your shoulder and hear a "Break, please. Therefore, in all fairness, I suggest that stags be kept out of the pool during the mixed bathing period. Or else charge them 50 cents admission as was done at the Interdorm Dances. Sincerely yours, S. S.
